Samuel Ludke (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798232606305)

With Samuel Ludke, celebrated American poet Samuel Ludke turns inward, offering a self-titled collection that reads like a map of his own creative landscape. In these pages he strips language to its essential brilliance, crafting poems that are at once intimate and immense-rooted in the everyday, yet reaching toward the cosmic.

This self-titled effort is both a culmination and a daring new beginning. Ludke writes of love and solitude, of memory's weight and the restless beauty of the American night. His voice-by turns tender, fierce, and electric-echoes the tradition of American classic poetry while carrying it somewhere wholly his own.
